[high]What does this Plugin do?[/high]

Basically, this will disable poll results from showing from everyone :devious:

[high]Are there any screenshots?[/high]

See my next post :)

kinda like something that will be used for HotM here.. lol

EDIT: would be good to add the TEXT in a <phrase> so we don't have any problem with translations.. :)

If a poll has been selected to close after x days, is there an option to to hide the results until the poll has been closed? If not, would this be easy to do?

This is simply to hide polls - I plan to expand the functionality to perform more detailed instructions at a later date;

These will include:

- Hide poll until closing date
- Hide poll from specific usergroups
- Hide poll in specific forums

:)

Cheers Chris, sounds like exactly what I'm after - I'll wait until the later release.

Can I make a request - I'm not sure if this plugin is the right place for this but do you think it would be possible to add the ability to put a check in to close the thread if the poll has closed.

This may be out of scope of what this plugin does but thought I'd ask :)

I'll consider adding it since it is to do with poll functionality :)

Chris

You are da man Chris... Really looking forward to this plugin now :)

That sounds great. It's a unique idea, and with the added functionality it will be great.

I've already completed the first request - Now when the poll is closed, it will display the results and all the information previously forced into submission :)

My next update will be to add forum-specific and usergroup-specific controls and the ability to enable/disable all 3 new functionalities if you do not need them; I will then look into auto-closing threads after polls have closed :)
